How young is too young for biking downtown?
Live in Evanston. Unexpectedly got two tickets to Saturday night's Chicago Fire game. I'm really considering taking my bike and my son's bike on the Metra and biking over to Soldier Field from Ogilvie.
The route looks to be 77% protected bike lanes. Where it's not, I would make us walk our bikes.
Part of me is screaming internally that it's foolish because he's only seven. But, on the other hand, if we only ride in protected lanes... Is it *that* foolish?
So I'm curious if others have done this with their kids or if a consensus emerges that he's too young still.
